Josephine Collingwood presents her new book on Walking the Medieval Boundary of the Royal Forest and an Introduction to the first medieval map of Dartmoor.

Join Josephine to slip back in time to 1240 when 12 knights rode around the heart of Dartmoor to delineate the Royal Forest.

Follow Dartmoor’s oldest long-distance walk with a 3D bird’s-eye view through each section.

Discover the first medieval map of Dartmoor showing the original Perambulation waypoints and the Latin transcript of the Perambulation Return.

See the first full-colour reproduction of the map, now available as a poster.

All of Josephine’s books and maps will be on display and available to view and purchase with 10% discount. There will be plenty of time for questions and chat.

And yes, there will be rock samples to see too!
